Gulliver's travels

Gulliver’s travels talks about the story of a man called Lemuel Gulliver, a practical-minded Englishman trained as a surgeon who takes heads out to the seas when his business fails. Gulliver narrates the adventures he met on those travels. Gulliver’s adventure in Lilliput begins when he wakes after his shipwreck to find himself bound by uncountable tiny threads and addressed by tiny captors who are in awe of him but fiercely protective of their kingdom. They are not afraid to use violence against Gulliver, though their arrows are as good as pinpricks which do no damage to Gulliver at all. However, they are rather hospitable, risking famine in their land by feeding Gulliver, who consumes more food than a thousand Lilliputians combined could. Gulliver is taken into the capital city by a vast wagon the Lilliputians have specially built. He is presented to the emperor, who is entertained by Gulliver, just as Gulliver is flattered by the attention of royalty. Eventually Gulliver becomes a national resource, used by the army in its war against the people of Blefuscu, whom the Lilliputians hate for doctrinal differences concerning the proper way to crack eggs. But things change when Gulliver is convicted of treason for putting out a fire in the royal palace with his urine and is condemned to be shot in the eyes and starved to death. Gulliver escapes to Blefuscu, where he is able to repair a boat he finds and set sail for England. Gulliver takes on many different adventures but came to a conclusion with claim that the lands he has visited belong by rights to England, as her colonies, even though he questions the whole idea of colonialism. This book has cultural influence and also wants to convey a few themes such as a satirical view of the state of European government, and of petty differences between religions and
whether men are inherently corrupt or whether they become corrupted.
